Cotton crop tops in grade since 1939 across regions
Agriculture department reports last year's cotton achieved the highest grade since 1939 and well above 1946 in quality due to favorable harvest weather. Average staple length dipped slightly from the previous year, blamed on dry conditions in some areas. Expanded western Oklahoma and northwest Texas output contributed to the shorter staple cotton.
